Deep bow… thank you for your integrity and resilience. These should be required courses in school. Not only important in the high stakes “game “ of diplomacy, but in life. Wishing you restored health, ease and peace as you take care of yourself and family. 🙏

Thank you so much for this kind and thoughtful note. I couldn’t agree more—these are life skills we all need, way beyond the world of diplomacy. I really appreciate your good wishes for my health and peace—it means a lot right now. Grateful to be in conversation with you here!

So you know what I am finding fascinating? It’s the following: your writing is getting better and better. There is an acuity and crispiness to you. Not crispiness but crispness. I don’t know how long it takes for you to write these posts: but I have the sense that they are written not quickly but in a flow state. I really find not one word to be extra. I am going to stop now as I am trying to imitate you! Loads of love now and always.

Thank you dearest Bela—this comment lit me up. I smiled at your "crispiness" correction, which captures exactly the kind of subtle precision I've been aiming for. You're right about the flow state: it's less about speed and more about staying deeply connected. Your thoughtful words mean so much. Big love to you, always!
